Problem Child in House's Jo Hye-ryeon and Peppertones showcased their brilliant minds.

In the KBS2TV entertainment show Problem Child in House, which aired on the 12th, Jo Hye-ryeon and the Peppertones collaboration group 'Mechanism' appeared. Unlike the spirited Jo Hye-ryeon, the Peppertones looked shy.

Jo Hye-ryeon said, "Last year at Yoo Jae-seok's 'Punggyegoo' awards ceremony, Cha Seung-won and Park Shin-hye came a lot. The Peppertones were sitting next to me," and noted, "Lee Jang-won and Shin Jae-pyeong don’t talk much, do they? But not long ago, I directed the play 'I Love You, Mom.' When Yoo Jae-seok asked me how I directed a play, I told him I had done a play five years ago, and that I knew Mechanism, which made Lee Jang-won laugh." She shared the beginning of her connection with them and revealed the origin of the name Mechanism.

Jo Hye-ryeon said, "So Yoo Jae-seok told us to try singing as Mechanism, and that’s how it started," indicating that it began with Yoo Jae-seok's planning and support.

Lee Jang-won was impressed by Jo Hye-ryeon's drive. The next day after their meeting, Jo Hye-ryeon suggested releasing an album within a month or two. Shin Jae-pyeong expressed surprise, saying, "We've never had someone move this quickly on a project."

Shin Jae-pyeong mentioned, "Peppertones always had a festival and performance schedule, but things changed after we formed Mechanism," expressing thoughts on the collaboration. Jo Hye-ryeon proudly stated, "Today is the recording for 'Park Bo-gun's Cantabile.'" He added, "We have to rotate several times for music broadcasts," and expressed an eager attitude by saying, "I filled my schedule and suggested various things. Hearing that, Song Eun-i called me saying, 'You might find it hard to accept everything. Your energy is different. Isn’t it a team?"

Hong Jin Kyung remarked, "The director of 'Park Bo-gun's Cantabile' is quite open-minded," and Jo Hye-ryeon coolly replied, "He's actually closed-minded. But after listening to our song, he thought this would work."

Jo Hye-ryeon revealed unexpected insights about her academic background. She said, "I really studied hard and only got one math problem wrong during the college entrance exam. My homeroom teacher helped me apply to Hanyang University’s chemical engineering program." However, she added, "But my friends advised me to go for the theater and film program, so I changed my application myself. I got accepted on the first try. Hanyang University was score-based, so I got in," surprising everyone with her academic success in the theater and film program.

Lee Jang-won and Shin Jae-pyeong were well-known KAIST graduates. Lee Jang-won said, "My father was a professor at KAIST. He now helps with the dishes at home after retirement," and added, "He still studies scientific trends. Even while chatting with Bae Da-hae, he mentions the latest A.I. trends and discusses Korea's future in these areas," introducing his family background.

Shin Jae-pyeong said, "My daughter asks how many pyeong the Earth is, and I pulled out a calculator using the formula for the area of a sphere" to align this education with her child's perspective. Hearing this, science students, including Lee Jang-won, asked, "So you assumed it as a sphere?" and Joo Woo-jae questioned, "But the Earth isn’t a perfect sphere?" which left Shin Jae-pyeong bewildered.
